Abstract:
Lightweight constructions materials provide better thermal insulations properties for buildings. Using lightweight’s aggregates, such like wood particles is one of the most common ways for making lightweight building materials. The low cost and availability of wood particles made it the best ultimate materials preference in production of composites construction materials. Geopolymer, the alkali-activation cement-based materials have been proven can be used to produce lightweight materials. In additional, geopolymer possess excellent mechanical properties and significant reduction in CO2 emissi

Abstract:
This article is concerned with the problem of constructing lightweight MDS matrices. The authors present a new construction of 4 × 4 MDS matrices over GL(F2, m) for any integer m. They give sufficient and necessary conditions to determine whether the construction is an MDS matrix. Further, for any even number m ≥ 4, they construct lightweight MDS matrices in this structure. Applying Horner's rule to implement MDS matrices, the authors constructions need only 8+4×3×m XOR operations.

Abstract:
The construction of lightweight steel has been remarkable in multiple applications including residential, commercial and industrial buildings. Many studies focus on the advantages of building lightweight from several aspects. This article highlights a comparative study of the construction of lightweight steel and construction by reinforced concrete in technical and economic aspects such as the weight of the building, construction time and construction conditions. In this article, the construction of lightweight steel appears to be the big difference in the weight of the building compared with

Abstract:
Intrusion detection in construction scenes can effectively reduce the occurrence of hazardous incidents. Current detection methods, while effective, are often too complex. This paper proposes a lightweight monitoring model based on convolutional neural networks (CNNs). First, the model is trained using a dataset to achieve high accuracy. Then, the model is lightweighted using CNNs. Simulation results show that the model can maintain accuracy while occupying a smaller volume.

Abstract:
The demand for safer, lighter and more fuel efficient vehicles has led to the market entry of light weight construction, with the use of advanced high strength steels, engineering plastic and light weight metals. Maximum weight savings potential will be limited if these are used in isolation. Chemistry based structural adhesives and foams enable the intelligent use of all three weight saving methodologies to overcome the problems of safety, quality and high processing cost.

A pre-processor to automatically generate a finite element model for each mirror geometry was developed in order to obtain the structural deformations systematically. Additionall

While there are major concerns with decks in 75% of structurally deficient bridges, often weight and geometry of the deck further limit the load rating and functionality of the bridge. Traditional deck systems and construction methods usually lead to prolonged periods of traffic delays, limiting options for transportation agencies to replace or widen a bridge, especially in urban areas.

Cracks and their formations in concrete structures have been a common and long-lived problem, mainly due to the intrinsic brittleness of the concrete. Concrete structures, such as rigid pavement and bridge decks, are prone to deformations and deteriorations caused by shrinkage, temperature fluctuation, and traffic load, which can affect their service life. Rehabilitation of concrete structures is expensive and challenging—not only from maintenance viewpoints but also because they cannot be used for services during maintenance.

Abstract:
Bridges are critical components of transportation infrastructure. This research addresses the need to extend the service life of bridges by improving the safety and reliability of bridge abutments and reducing their life-cycle cost and footprints. Mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) is a known strategy to enhance the economy and performance of bridge abutments. In addition, the application of rotary-kiln-manufactured lightweight aggregate backfills improves the performance of MSE bridge abutments with a leaner structural system. Such improvements include a reduction of structural demands due t

Abstract:
Description Logics (DLs) [BCM+07] are prominent modeling formalisms underlying the Web Ontology Language (OWL). The lightweight DL EL in particular is used to formulate many biomedical ontologies. DLs allow to represent subconcept-superconcept relationships between concepts, e.g., diseases, as well as more complex correspondences. Unification in DLs has been proposed as a non-standard reasoning task to detect redundant concepts in ontologies [BN01, BM10b]. Recently, disunification in EL has been investigated and several algorithms were proposed to solve disunification problems [BBM16].

Abstract:
In this paper, we address a specific tool—InnoMix—that is implemented to overcome the lack of university–industry interaction in a selected region facing structural change with its corresponding impact on the economy and society. InnoMix is facilitated and implemented by university-based transfer scouts who act as mediators and translators between the players of the regional innovation system. These transfer scouts are part of the Innovation Hub 13, in which the region’s partners and stakeholders, infrastructures and competencies are systematically networked with each other to set new impulses
